Traditional Vs. Continental Fencing Panels

Traditional Fencing Vs Contemporary Fence Panels

We have an extensive range of fence panels to choose from including our popular Paloma and Lap panels. Many of our panels use timber that is FSC-Certified as coming from a sustainable and well maintained source. Our panels are also either Dip-Treated or Pressure Treated at our factory, which allows us to offer a 10 or 15 year guarantee against rot and decay, respectively.

But how do you decide what to use?

Our Fencing is divided into traditional and contemporary style-types, the differences are explained below:

Traditional Fencing Panels

Contemporary / Decorative Fencing

Contemporary continental-style fence panels, also known as decorative panels, provide the same security and privacy as traditional panels, but have a more attractive design. This designs style can be expressed through how the timbers are weaved, through a curved top or by the addition of a delightful top trellis.

Our contemporary fencing options are a great way to freshen up the look of your garden and creating a great focal point. Low-level, character packed panels can be used to create an inviting boarder to your front garden. This is particularly true for our trellis topped range of panels.
